Elijah

 Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton wears several wristbands on his left arm, but one held more significance than the others Wednesday.

It was the one he got at a Halloween block party he crashed in September to surprise 10-year-old Elijah Aschbrenner.

The band says, "Prayers for Elijah" and "Never give up."

Elijah died Tuesday night of a rare form of cancer.

"Man, I didn't even want to talk about it just out of respect to him, but ... it's crazy just to think back of a person who is so young but his heart was huge," Newton said.

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
